Romelu Lukaku scored his 100th Premier League goal on Saturday, here we use Opta data to analyse the Manchester United striker's record.

Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku became the latest player to score 100 goals in the Premier League by finding the net against Swansea City on Saturday.

Lukaku struck just five minutes into the contest at Old Trafford, sending a deflected effort into the top corner after being set up by Alexis Sanchez.

The strike was the Belgium star's 15th in the top flight since joining United from Everton last July in a deal believed to be worth an initial £75million.

Using Opta data, we analyse Lukaku's goalscoring record in England's top flight.

THE BREAKDOWN

As you would expect with a central striker, the vast majority of Lukaku's efforts have come from inside the box. His head is almost as potent as his weaker right foot, while his one goal categorised as "other" came courtesy of a ricochet in West Brom's 2-1 victory over Sunderland in February 2013.

The Belgium international took 216 appearances to reach 100 goals. While that may be faster than Didier Drogba and former United stars Wayne Rooney, Dwight Yorke and Teddy Sheringham, it only makes him the 12th-quickest to his century.
